My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I AM GRETA, THE GREAT DANE WITH THE GREAT NAME! Now I admit I did not look so ‘great’ when I first arrived at Ahimsa Rescue. I was emaciated—down to my skeleton—covered with ticks and needing someone, anyone, to help me. I couldn’t call 911. That’s the trouble with being a dog; you are so dependent upon the kindness of others.

Well, long story short, that ‘someone’ arrived in the form of the Ahimsa Angel Mom. She found NO food, ANYWHERE! I was starving to death because my ‘use’ was up—having puppies for this family to sell. I really don’t know how much longer I could have held on, but I have tremendous spirit and once I came to the Recovery Center—Ahimsa Rescue—I could begin my journey back to health and finally know what love feels like.

Once I have my ‘Great Dane-ness’ back, I will be sleek, strong, and secure. And deserving of the great name Greta The Great.

If there were ever a dog who deserved a great family, it is I. I have been through a lot, but I know a good deal when I see one! And this is it. I am getting health care, excellent food, and lots of pampering…..who knew pampering could be so fine?!

I will be spayed—whew! That is very good news! Enough already!—and, really, brought back to life. And I need you to bring an element only a ‘good’ family can bring: love, kindness, compassion, and commitment to me as a family member. Soon, with you, my nightmare will slowly fade. So follow my journey back to health and happiness.

Then I will look forward to showing you the new me! I will stand tall—Great Danes ARE tall—and strong. And I will greet you with renewed optimism and confidence. Think about it……….Greta the Great (Dane…or Dame)
